The Heartbreaks Release Special Xmas Cover Song As Free DownloadANNOUNCE NEW EP 'HAND ON HEART' - OUT FEBRUARY 4TH “Every song is capable of being a single” Dazed & Confused “They’ve got the tunes in spades and their jangle-pop reeks with sorry of a Mr Whippy dropped in gravelly sand. And it’s delicious.” NME “They are the next great benchmark in British rock’n’roll mythology” i-D “Their lovelorn, nostalgia-tinged pop is right on the money” The Fly
Matthew, vocalist of The Heartbreaks explains the motive of the new release, “We’ve always had a kind of intrinsic sense of drama, but with the addition of strings we were able to truly articulate a feeling of being widescreen, cinematic. Rather than merely ‘sounding big’, we wanted to make music that, like those great Scott Walker, REM and Bunnymen records, was melodic, bold, elegiac... Something conceptual that would, even if just for an EP, take our music beyond its usual guitar and bass sound”. James Branbury, who himself as part of The Auteurs in 1993 released the seminal ‘Live Acoustic EP’ speaks of the new version of ‘Hand Of Heart’, “A great, emotional song. The build at the end is a tingling moment - always a good reaction when you're working on a track and hearing it over and over again. Having toured the UK in support of their debut album, ‘Funtimes’, hit a number of summer festivals, and played a series of hysterically received shows in Japan, following a number one airplay single in ‘Delay, Delay’, the Morecambe four piece will be heading back to Japan in December for more live dates, before heading to Europe early in 2013.
